SOLD OUT - Damn Fine Teas [Series 1 Re-Release]

EDIT: Well, well, well! That didn’t take very long at all! I like to think that Steepster was largely responsible for the quick dispersion of the last of Series 1. It’s too bad we weren’t able to take advantage of any Steepster Select givings, but maybe we’ll see it pop up for Series 3, Overlords?

The title kind of explains it all, but I wanted to pop in and give a heads up to you Steepsterites because of your general rockingness. Andrews & Dunham have made a limited quantity of the Series 1 tea available again, so if you’ve seen the reviews floating around here, or perhaps if you have tried their Series 2 before and wanted to give Series 1 a go like I did, here’s your chance!

Hello? Oh, hi Mr. Claus, it’s nice to hear from you. How have you been?

Excellent, that’s good to hear.

Ah, yes, I’ve been keeping busy. But I’m sure things are calm here compared to how busy you must be right now!

What’s that?

Oh, yes, of course I’ll pass along the message. I take it your internet is still down?

I know, it’s really a shame Verizon won’t run cables up there, but I guess they have their reasons. Maybe you should consider investing in one of those 3G network cards.

Haha! Not a problem, consider it done! Good luck this year!

Sorry about that Jillian, but someone just called and wanted me to tell you that Andrews & Dunham ships to Canada for $5.06 a set. [I do believe that’s only $0.06 more than U.S. shipping!] HAPPYFESTIVUS!http://twitter.com/damnfinetea/status/6339632120

I really do not know whether to be pleased with this announcement (I do want these teas) or dismayed that takgoti is apparently going to tempt me into taking back my word that I would stop buying tea for a while. Tell me, takgoti, are they truly magnificent? Truly worth throwing all tea caution to the wind?

I never got to try Series 1; I only found out about A+D through Steepster, so I started out at Series 2. Reading the reviews of S1 made me want to try these really badly, though, so when I saw this on twitter, I broke my own no-buying-tea-pact. With that said, I can’t say I’m going to be much help in the way of trying to support YOUR tea embargo.

They’re already almost half-way through what’s left of their S1 inventory. Not to pressure you or anything, but DOOOOOEEEEET.

Is anyone else really excited to see what Series 3 is going to be? Apparently they’re approving the labels for printing. Squeee!

Me too. Non grocery store I have 3 options. One has a few things I like but not much, one has a few more, and one I haven’t been to. (YET=P) The one I frequent sells adagio products, but they’re more expensive ($6.99 for the tea filters) and I don’t get the frequent cup points. So, no matter what amazing tea shop I find, I’ll always buy those online.

In my experience delivery to my home in B.C. takes approx 2 weeks, although it really depends on the tea company and how quickly they process their orders and whatnot. I’m hoping I’ll get it by the 25th – but a late X-mas gift would be perfectly fine too. :D

I got an email at 12:42pm today that my Series 1 has shipped. Yay! I wonder if it’s because I gave them a cookie recipe. I wonder how long my tea will be in transit. I wish I could track it cause I would, several times a day.
